nap time

This is me asleep. Mom says she loves it when I'm asleep, because then I don't bark. I am doing better about sleeping through the night and not waking her up as often, so she likes that also. One thing I'm not sure about though is that apparently Halloween is coming up, and mom isn't sure if I should dress up as something. If I do, it'll probably just be putting on one of my jerseys and going as a sports fan, but what do you think? Post a reply!

toy retirement

Mom told me to say good-bye to these toys since she says they need to retire. I don't know what retiring is, but these are some of my favorite toys (as you can probably tell since they are so chewed up) so I hope retirement is a good thing for them. Plus, I have the pine cone that mom let me carry 3 blocks home and into the house, so that's my new favorite toy since it's LOTS of fun to chew.

Cone Probation

I was starting to find new and creative ways to express my frustration with the cone, such as regularly shredding the newspaper mom and dad put out for me to go to the bathroom on. Don't worry, I am mostly good at holding in until I am outside, so the newspaper was just lying there, waiting for me to destroy it. Anyways, on Saturday, I got put on cone probation, so as long as I don't bat at my eye too much, mom and dad keep the cone off, which is much better.

Couple updates

My ribbon the vet gave to hold my cone on wore through, so mom replaced it today with this kinda fashionable blue and brown striped ribbon. She thinks it looks really cute tied in a big bow. I mostly don't like that when I scratch, I don't think I can wear it down like the other ribbon. Also, I lost a couple teeth today, but mom said I shouldn't put pictures of them on my blog. Sorry.

I once had a cone ... THIS BIG

This cone is huge. Mom says the width of the cone is the length of my body. Anyway, I hate it. I guess it protects my eye, and I have to have it on for at least one more week, but possibly longer. It makes it hard to pick things up, I run into stuff, and the only good thing is that when I go on walks, I get to take it off. Which reminds me, one of my new favorite things is to run around at the park. Minimal exericse for mom and dad, maximum wearing out for me. Win-win.
